Play Danish opening with two pawn sacrifice. Works well against low rated players.

ELO 1000-1400 players constantly create and fall in their own traps. It's not necessary to invent something. 
learn tactics, this will guarantee you win all games against 1400

Play either side of the Spanish. That has tons of traps to catch the unwary. The Philidor is another good one with tons of traps, as is the Russian.
In fact, just about all of the classical openings have tons of traps. Just study them and watch for tactics!
Any ideas appreciated!
